The neurological pathway specialises in the assessment, intervention, and advice for children and young people aged 4-18 years who have gross motor difficulties. These difficulties may arise from a developmental, neurological or muscle condition.

A child or young person may require intervention from this service because they have:

  • Difficulty with posture and movement

  • Difficulty or delay with gross motor skill development

  • Rehabilitation following specialist surgery or interventions

  • Pain, restrictions in movement or muscle tightness

The service is child and family focused and aims to support the child, young person and their family to become confident in the management of their long-term condition.  We will work alongside you to promote maximise your / your child's gross motor function and independence enabling participation in family, school and leisure activities in locally provided services.

The team works with parents, carers and educational staff to support children or young people to be confident in carrying out physiotherapy and postural plans, providing a 24hr approach that is essential to enable them to achieve their potential. 

For those children who have SEN / SEND needs we will contribute to their EHCP plan.
